My week 6 Clarion story “Blushing Blue” can be found in Broad Knowledge: 35 Women Up to No Good.

My week 3 Clarion story “Song of the Mango” can be found in the double-sized tenth and final issue of Lontar: The Journal of Southeast Asian Speculative Fiction. I’m very sad to see this journal go, but also very glad that this story–of which I wrote a novella version–made it to its last issue. Available in print at all Kinokuniya stores, as well as an e-book over at Weightless Books.

My first place-winning novelette “Odd and Ugly” can be found in L. Ron Hubbard Presents the Writers of the Future, vol. 34. Available in print at all Barnes & Nobles stores, and as an e-book on Amazon. If you are in the Philippines and would like a print copy, drop me a line at hello@vidacruz.org and I’ll see about getting you a copy.
